"The Republican Party, eyeing control of the Senate next year, is trying to mimic [Trump's] success with a cohort of candidates who in the past might have been attacked as a bunch of rich men but this year will be sold as successful outsiders in the Trump mold."

@wdlindsy I hope the women voters of the country are going to trash these clueless yahoos. I don't think we can depend upon my fellow males. Gerrymandering doesn't affect senate races, but kicking people off of voter rolls will. Everyone check your registration!!

@timo21 I hope so, too, and I share your conclusion that our fellow males cannot be depended on. To the contrary….

"The decision by Ohio voters on Tuesday to nominate Bernie Moreno to take on Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, is the capstone of a year that has crowned nominees — or anointed clear front-runners — with remarkable wealth in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Montana and now Ohio."

@wdlindsy With Trump funneling RNC money to his legal costs, the only people who can run in the GOP are those who can self finance (really self-finance; not that fraudulent game Trump played in '16).

@JamesBazan A good point — and that may be why people like Moreno seem to be rising to the top in the GOP.
